I dont think Chinchilly and Merino Cool are too similar...MC is darker and definitely has more purple! And thanks so much for your nice comments! I always smile when I see a comment from you!<br /><br />@Alison - Ahhhh Taupe Gris is *gorgeous*!!!! I bet it looks like Smokin' Hot but maybe a little lighter??<br /><br />k2kkittytokarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115922034476942345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-25900977558395584322011-01-20T12:03:22.078-08:002011-01-20T12:03:22.078-08:00I love those colours too! merino cool is a fave an...I love those colours too! merino cool is a fave and although I haven't tried the LM Eyeshadow I use a very similar one from Chanel in my crease everyday. It's called Taupe Gris it may be a touch darker so I'll have to see if it matches either Essie MC or Smokin Hot!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508852058968726493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-1133946886455191652011-01-20T06:39:38.284-08:002011-01-20T06:39:38.284-08:00i love essie and their colors -some say their colo...i love essie and their colors -some say their colors are boring but i dont think so. i recently got chinchilly and merino cool*and some other essie's but only sported chinchilly. it seems as merino cool is very very similar- very much hoping that they are not. even though i love the grey-purple trend i dont want two the same!<br />did i already tell you that i love your blog and your tatse <br />tamar.תמרhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785866814007508301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-69950943815973173472011-01-19T21:19:24.414-08:002011-01-19T21:19:24.414-08:00@Courtney - From the little picture of you I can s...@Courtney - From the little picture of you I can see when you leave the comment it looks like we do have a very similar skin tone...really pale with strong yellow undertones?? I always feel like my skin is crazy too!<br /><br />@TropicalChrome - Wow that sounds like an awesome colour car!! Very pretty!! :) Hehe and I like that you tried to match your car!<br /><br />@Amanda - Thank you so much that is very sweet!!! I'm checking out your blog this very minute. :)<br /><br />@Lucy - Haha wow did you do your nails every day to match your wardrobe? That sounds like it took a lot of planning ahead! I'm impressed. I wish I could pick out my clothes the night before but even if I try usually I'm in the mood for something else by morning. How big is your polish collection if I can ask??<br /><br />@Beauty Reductionista - Yeah Merino Cool certainly has a lot of cousins and is purportedly a dupe of the original China Glaze Channelesque, so I can see why you debated. BTW I love your case of matching!! The bag even has gold hardware to go with the gold sparkles in AA!!<br /><br />k2kkittytokarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115922034476942345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-44249936525122573792011-01-19T20:58:58.052-08:002011-01-19T20:58:58.052-08:00[previous comment deleted for having the wrong lin...[previous comment deleted for having the wrong link]<br /><br />LOL @ a Sew Psyched Bag spotting<br /><br />I love Merino Cool but I think it looks so much like all the grey-purply stuff I already have that I can't make myself get it.

Now I don't do that as often. I did buy a green handbag that I'm sure I have a polish to match. I'm sure I have plenty of eye shadows that match polish also.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558100374295420131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-11911519602374131622011-01-19T19:25:10.610-08:002011-01-19T19:25:10.610-08:00Hi there, lurker coming out from the shadows to le...Hi there, lurker coming out from the shadows to let you know I tagged you ladies in an award on my blog :) http://nailpolishenthusiast.blogspot.com/2011/01/stylish-blogger-award.html I'm just starting out, so if you get a chance, check it out - if not, enjoy the recognition?

I have a crazy time with my skin tone pulling colors out of polish all the time, usually the pink colors.

If I ever purchase MAC eyeshadow, my first one will be Satin Taupe. :)<br /><br />@Sarah - It really is lovely - I say give it a shot!<br /><br />@BabyGirlRina - Haha that is a very cool matching scenario! Love it!<br /><br />@Sia - Thanks friend!<br /><br />@Deborah - Haha I know I think that its just a sign that my nail polish obsession has just gone full blown! I knew that lady would think I was crazy and went up and talked to her... Maybe you'll notice an accidental match someday like I did with this one!<br /><br />@Grace - Fall fashion is always my favourite, and typically its the same for polish collections as well - we really are very similar, aren't we!! I think you'd like this if you took it out for a test drive!<br /><br />k2kkittytokarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115922034476942345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-8845292306198175842011-01-19T10:20:38.630-08:002011-01-19T10:20:38.630-08:00I actually just "rediscovered" this poli...I actually just "rediscovered" this polish in my stash over the weekend. Totally forgot I had it, and I can't remember if I've worn it. I guess it got lost in the shuffle of my big fall polish haul. The fall collections are always my favorite, and I guess I went a little nuts this year. I will definitely be giving this one another chance!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551976181761103171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-60634915592711390142011-01-19T10:18:48.509-08:002011-01-19T10:18:48.509-08:00It's so funny how you spot a bag.. and link it...It's so funny how you spot a bag.. and link it to a polish color!
